So, apparently all it takes is four emails telling me you liked the solo episode for me to get back on the mic - here we are. Today’s episode is short, slightly chaotic, and all about the difference between suffering and hard work. Big topic, big feelings, but don’t worry, it’s under 13 minutes and I manage to spiral only once or twice.
